small (old figures). However, they do have some newer figs - mainly
for middle/late Persian - which are nice figs and would fit some
earlier troops. Their Biblical range is also useful here -
Assyrians, Chaldeans, Elamites, Babylonians etc. would, to some
degree, fit the bill.

have some nice Thracians, Medians, Phrygians, Ethiopians and
Sythians as well as stock Persians, and some of the Thessalians,
Thebans and, at a push, Athenians and Spartans could be used as
there were two or three states - Lydia, Karia, Phrygia, come to
mind - that moved to some Hoplite styles about this time, and
provided troops to the early Achaemenid Persians, as did the Greek
Ionian states.

spot here.
